I Application lediDecember 8, 1999. Serial No. 532,098.

- Tolall whom, 'lltmay concern: Be i known that I, RAMON Bove, citizen o f Spain,4 lresidin at New York, in the countyy of New ork and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Wraving Machines,

of'which the following is a specification.

-The primary object of this invention is an improved hair wavin apparatus which will .besnnple and durab e in construction and cient in operation to wave a persons hair withoutA injuring the-same. The' invention consists .essentially in a hair waving apparatus embodying two sets o'f'fbars that'a-re arranged to fold one setupon the other with the hair between them, mild heat being applied to the .device as thru h.the instrumentality-of' an electrically eated plate so as to maintain the wavy .condition .in which'the Vhair is retained'as'it lies in between the folded' bars.

The invention also consists in a device of I. this character in which the bars are extensibly arranged relative to each other so that after one set has been folded over upon the other set, the folded sets may be moved or crowded toward one end of the device so as to wave the hair not only by the hair being caughtz in between the folded bars but between one pair of folded bars and the next- The invention further consists in a hair waving apparatusA embodying improved means whereby covers between which the two sets of bars are placed may be easily held inaspread out condition so as to' provide for the ready-placin of the hair in the apparatus, means being a so provided whereby upon the. releasing of such cover holding' means, the two sections or plates of the cover with the bars between them may be Aeasily folded one upon the other, the apparatus thus 'automatically acting to move th'eJ folded bars toward each other in a longitudinaldirection.

Conversely, the invention consists in ade- .vice whereby the movement of one cover' Figure l is an inner face view of a hair waving machineconstructed in. accordance with myinvention; Fig. 2 is an outer face viewthereof, parts being broken away, and other parts being shown in section; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device with the'parts closed; Fig. 4 is a transverse 'sectional view thereof; and, Fig. 5 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view on an enlarged scale.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views ofthe accompanying drawings by the same reference characters.

' My improved hair waving apparatus embodies any desired number of bars arranged in, pairs lhingedly connected together at one end anddeslgned to be folded one 'upon the other. The bars of the set which in the operation of the device are lowermost are designated 1 and their correspondin bars 2.

- Each bar is preferably former with perfo1ations3,-and each lowermost bar l is also formed with Yside flanges formed with relativelyv short 4teeth 4, the teeth being of any desired number and at any desired in4 by means of links 5 secured'thereto at or near the ends of thc'bars, said links being joined together by a pin and slot connection as indicated at 6. The bars 2 are similarly connected near their relatively free ends. corresponding bars' 5 having pin and slot connections with cach other to effect the movement of the bars 1 toward each other, it being of course understood that this movement is not performed in the actual operation of the device until the bars 2 have been folded upon'the b ars 1; toggle bars 7 are connected tothe bars l and have suitable slot-and pin connections with alternating bars whereby when one end of the bar 1 is pressed open by coil springs 8 as `indicated in Fig. 2, the entire set of barsvill be pushed towardi the opposite end bar covered slots 9 formed in a. cover plate l0 and one end bar 1 is rigidly connected to the spread out condition thereof as indicated in l. Pre er'ably the springs 8 work in vtube cover plate 1() as by rivets 1n or similar fas- Fig. l. Preferably the end bar 1 which is pressed upon by the expansion springs 8 has an end iivet 13 movable in a slotl formed in the cover plate 12. t

In order to swingfone covei plate-over upon the other and fold one setot' vbars against the coiresponding bars of the other set, I have provided a chain or cord 15 which is secured at one end to the cover plate 12 and which extends transversely over n on the cover plate 10 where it is connecte to the adjacent' end Abar 1. Also connected to this end bar 1 is a compression or contractile spring 1 6, said spring being also connected to the cover plate 10. 'Ihe cord l5 it will be 'understood has such a ruiming connection with the cover plate 10 that the contraction of the spring 16 will tend to draw the cover plate 12 over upon the cover plate l0 and also draw the end bar-1 just mentioned inwardly toward the -rigidly connected end bar 1. Conversely, it will be understood that the opening of the cover plates will -place the sp1-infr 16 under tensionv ano at the same. time ten to draw thelotse end bar 1 away from the rigidly connecten end bar so as to s read all of the bars out to the vposition ilnstrated in Fig. 1. the intermediate bars heilig moved by the toggle link connections 7 before described; 0f course the springs 8 are the mainJelemelttsrfor crowding` the 'bars i1' ction )after the person be1ngvtreated.

together. in a longitudinal the devicellas been closed.

Tn order to hold the device open the cover plate 12 is provided with a transversely extending nger 1T secured in any desired way thereto and extending ,across the hinge 11 .tof'the other cover plate, a longitudinally movable latch lf2-being 'mounted on said'last named cover plate and 'being lirnily pressed into engagement with said linger-by means of an expansion spring 19. In order toretract the latch from the linger or keeper 1i' and'permit the device to close, l have pi'ovided a chain or cord 20 which extends through the spring and is connected to the latch at one end, the other end ot the cord being connected to a releasing arm or bell crank 21 mounted in a hand-le 22 which ex tends perpendieularly from the outer face 'f the cover plate 10.

The entire device' is carried by the handl 22, as it is placed in position next to the scalp and the incorporation of the releasing arm 21 in said handle renders it possible to release the latch 18 from the keeper 1T b v a finger of the same hand which grasps the handle, the other hand ot the operator being left free to lay the hair out along the lower side of the bars "1 and to see that the device is properly closed upon4 the hair.

To open the device pull handles 23 are provided, the same being secured to the outer face of the cover plates 10 and 12.

24 designates a heating plate, which is connected in any desired way to the cover p late 10, feed wires 25 leading into and out of said plate so that when said wires'are cony nected to an incandescent'electrie light socket a mild heat will be produced so as to.

operation of in v improved hair waving-ap paratus will be apparent. ln the practical use' of the device, the. operator grasps the handle 22 with the apparatus lopen and-inserts the comb 2li up underneath the hair next to the scalp, the hair being then laid over upon the lower set of bars l. The latch 18 is then released and the cover plate 12 moved over upon -the cover plate l0, the spring 16 and cord l5 assisting in this mov ment, the bars 2 being then folded upon the bars 1 by this action and the folded hars beingthen moved toward each other in a longitudinal direction by means oil the ex pansion springs S.- It. will then be seen that the hair willbe elfectually waved. as the electricity is then turned onto heat the deyvice and that the hair will be very quickly waved' and without injuring the "hair or without anyY inconvenience or discomfort to 1.
